The bottom line is that you deserve period and leak protection that gives you comfort physically, mentally, and emotionally.

That’s why we’re committed to sharing the plain facts about our reusable underwear — how it’s made, what it’s made of, and why it’s safe. 

At Thinx, we do a series of rigorous product safety tests. As part of our approach, Thinx products are tested for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and we are proud to say we pass these tests.

We use third-party, accredited internationally recognized labs for our product testing for individual PFAS compounds as well as fluorine and total PFAS levels. This includes the organic fluorine tests (see test results here), total fluorine tests and adherence to the 2023 OEKO-TEX® standards. We consistently pass these tests, remaining OEKO-TEX® certified.

Thinx are safe. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS, are absolutely not part of our product design. We also take measures to help ensure these substances are not added to our products through material, design, production, facility, and supplier controls.

We care deeply about the materials used in our products, putting comfort and safety at the core of our design, development and manufacturing.
